Accessories Product Manager Job at ALSO (Palo Alto)

Job Description

We’re seeking an Accessories Product Manager to lead the strategy, development, and delivery of accessories that elevate the micromobility experience — including OEM-developed, ODM-sourced, and co-branded components. You’ll own a portfolio spanning helmets, racks, chargers, bags, lighting, and rider-focused tools that enhance safety, comfort, and usability across our vehicle platforms. Roughly 80% of your time will focus on independently managing ODM and co-developed accessories from concept through production, working directly with suppliers and Supply Chain to bring products to market. The remaining 20% will involve collaboration with internal engineering and TPM teams on flagship OEM accessories — high-visibility products that integrate deeply with our vehicle platforms.
